pydicom.values.convert_DT_string(byte_string: bytes, is_little_endian: bool, struct_format: Optional[str] = None) → Union[str, pydicom.valuerep.DT, Sequence[Union[str, pydicom.valuerep.DT]]][source]¶

Return a decoded ‘DT’ value.

Parameters

byte_string (bytes) – The encoded ‘DT’ element value.
is_little_endian (bool) – True if the value is encoded as little endian, False otherwise.
struct_format (str, optional) – Not used.
